These last couple of months I've been pretty tied up trying to finish my master's thesis. Well, an unsuspected power outage at the university left Mackay Science without power for four days. I decided to take the opportunity to take some time off and enjoy the wonderful summer that we've been having in the eastern Sierra. On Friday Holly, Chester and I headed up to Lake Tahoe for some swimming. Then we joined Holly's aunt, uncle, and cousin for a camping trip to Bridgeport, California. By the way, if you've never been to the eastern Sierra I'd highly recommend going. It is absolutely beautiful and relatively uncrowded by California standards. We spent Saturday checking out the historic ghost town of Bodie, which is by itself way out in the desert. Then Sunday we traveled up to Twin Lakes, in the shadow of the Sawtooth Mountains.
